Noble Lord (Grenville) much con , versant in these.subjects, and he himself, had often insisted with the Diredors, that they must have a great profit on these Dividends, but the Diredors I' • would not a ll ow i t . H o was glad the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had succeeded in convinciug them. Mr. MAleeteo, after stating that the allowance made by the Ad of 1701 was not more than was rea sonable for managing the Debt, observed, that he and his colleagues looked with anxiety for the period when the restriction could be removed ; and no alarm need, therefore, be entertained on that ac count. Mr. Baooper; did not think the advance to be made by the Bank adequate; but, inadequate as it was, he thought it prudent to accept of it, rather than that any hostility between the Government and the Bank should prevail. Mr. BIDDULPH was of opinion the agreement on the part of the Country was in the highest degree inadequate and improvident. L Mr. CROCKER and Mr. P. CARZW supported the measure in every particular. Mr. MANNING vindicated the condua of the Bank throughout the transaction. After some explanations between Mr. BANKE6I, Mr. PeneevAL, and Mr. Husiossore, the Resolu tions were put and agreed to, and the Report order. et! to be received to-morrow. Mr. WIIARTOW brought up the Report of the Ex theqier Bills Regulation Bill, to which some new Clauies were added, and the Bill ordered to be read a third dime te-rnerrow.

BY Letters of a late date from America, accounts Ore received that the Statira Frigate, with Mr. Rosa on board, arrived at Virginia on the 30th of Decem * and that Congress was prorogued. , THE Duke of MANCHESTER sailed yesterday from Ntsmoutb, in tbo Guerriere Frigate, 'or Jamaica. Tibute is every reason to suppose that the strong Measure recently adopted by the American Govern -4t will produce very serious consequences in that Country. The' Papers are full of the most violent it mlittivei against Mt. itrysasow, and it was even je " ,Pe 4 , but we a pp re h en d w i t h ou t f oun d a ti on , In" Mr. ItsbrboLrit bad moved for an impeachment a g ai nst him in the House of Repesentatives. Yu the Debates which took place upon the quasi ion - of the Embargo, the strongest language was used by those who opposed that measure. It' was repre timed ps a slavish compliance with the commands of RUONAPARTS; and , Mr. MASTERS said, 1" I , will Stake my life that the band of BUONAPARTE is itt this thing." Other Members expressed an appre bension that they were about to be added to Hol land, Naples, Westphalia, and the other unfortu nate Countries to which BUONAPARTE had given Kings. ‘ 1 Who knows," said Mr. RANDOLPUt " but at this moment the Prince Regent of the fu ture King of America, who is now puling in his nurse's arms,' may be within these very walls." . 4.lthough the Embargo had subsisted so short a time before the last accounts came away it Lad produced even then most disastrous effe6ts. Thouslnch of workmen were turned out of employ ment, and a general gloom and dissatisfatlion seemed to prevail among almost all classes of the People. A report, of which we have n o t been able to trace the authority, was yesterday circulated that it very serious attempt had been made upon the life of Jo asPu 13LIONAPAIITE. It was stated that a number of armed persons had placed themselves in ambush at a small distance from Naples, near a road along which it Was known that JOSEPPI BUONAPARTU wag to pass attended by his usual guards. The attack was made, according to the plan laid, and several shuts Were fired into his carriage, all of which, however, mused hint. The guards, fifteen of whom were made a vigorous resistance, and at length succeeded in beating off the assailants. Such is the report which was yesterday in circulation : we Nape already stated that we cannot vcuch for its It uthenticity, but in the present state off, the King 'l°4l of Naples, we think such an attempt by no leans improbable. Letters received front Gibraltar state, that the siege of that important Fortress is determined on by the Pretich ; and that a large French army is now on its match to Spain, for that purpose. Some of the letters ttelition, that the Spaniards had ,adually begun to mileCt fascines in the neighbouring country, and to B r it' depots of grain at Algesiras, for the subsistence of the besieging army.

THE Court met this morning at the usual hour, and proceeded to the further examination of Brig. adier General Sir S. ACHMUTY. Nothing particular hnd transpired when our express came away.

A beautiful specimen of virgin gold was lately found in a tin streatn-work in Cornwall. It is about the length and thickness of a lady's little finger, though less regularly formed, and weighs above two ounces. Its intrinsic value is tral to nine guineas ; but, as a specimen, it is invaluable ; for though gold has been frequently found in the stream works, and that in larger quantities than is gene rally known, that is unquestionably the largest and most beautiful specimen ever found in Cornwall.

The Embargo was carried by the ence of a spirit hostile to Great Britaln, and of course not very independent of France. If the people of New England quietly submit to the system of attaching our fate to that of France, our independence is at an end. TH$ ranNcm GRAND JUDGE TO THE titliNOH AT- TORNBY-OENRRAL. SIR-4 hate submitted to his Majesty the Emperor and King, the doubts raised by his Excellency the Minister of Marine and Colonies, on the extent of certain dispositions of the Imperial Decree of the e Ist November, 1806, which has declared the, British Isles in a state of blockade. The fOlkiwing are his Majesty's intentions on the points in question : I. May vessels of war, by virtue of the Impe rial Decree of the gi st Nov. last, seize, on board, neutral vessels, either English property, or even all merchandize proceeding from the English tnanufac tories or territory ? ANswee—His Majesty has intimated that as he did not think proper to express any exception in his Decree, there is no ground for making any in its execution, in relation to any Whomsoever, (A regard tie pique cc pot etre). 2d. His Majesty has postponed a decision on the. question whether armed French Vessels ought to capture Neutral Vessels bound to or from England, even when they have nu English meichandize on board. (Signed) REGNIER. The Embargo appears, by the language of the Government Papers, intended to produce a coer cive effe6t upon England. What' would we compel her to do ? To make reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake? She has sent Mr. glow:, expressly commissioned, to do all that her chara6ler can suffer to be done without degradation, to satisfy the wounded feelings of our Country. He is now near out coast, if -not arrived, bearing the olive branch, and tendering us satisfnEtion, peace and good will. It is therefore madness to say, the Em bargo has any relation to the attack on the Chesa peake. What then are we to. compel Great Bri tain to do by this Embargo ? She shall abandon her claim to her owes Subjecrts whenever they can get on board our Merchant Vessels ! This is the only point that now labours between the two Governments. Tu etre& this concession, on the part of England, we are called upon to sacrifice the prosperity of the Country---to submit to the most distressing; priva tious,many to absolute ruin—and all this with ,dig nity and patience. Let those who already see consternation stalking through our streets, and hundreds of poor but in dustrious men, even on the second day of the cm bargo, standing without any employment, seeing for some means of earning a day's support for their family, let them imagine this state of things, pro -03644 a few mouths, and judge of the conse quences. WILL TIIBY BE iIqNPOBTABLE ? It is evident .from the tone of the National intelli gencer, and corroborated by all the letters we have Seen froinWashington, that the Embargo is to last until its einras arc ,felt across the ditlantie.--1f so, it must continue many months. Can it be borne with dignity and patience ? - We have given, in all, towards twenty mil lions of dollars, to prevent the French from, owning territories in our neighbourhood. It is now confidently asserted that BUOYAP'ART4 has made arrangements, in his way, with the Govern ment. of Spain, to cede to him the Floridas ! Thus after wasting our Treasury, and incurring an enormous debt, to secure the management of our own affairs without interruption, we are to have a French Colony bordering with us upon the 4% 4 tlantic. It is as evident as any thing can be, that With such a territory, running so fitr beyond them as our Louisiana possessions,.we are more exposed, and les& able to defend ourselves than ever. Thus ends the miserable policy of attempting to attain security by purchasing the ground that a suspected and meddlesome tenant might occupy. Rupo ßT .—A GentleManin this town received a letter by the first Mail of last evening, from hid friend in Philadelphia, assuring him that Mr, ithx.. DOLPH had moved for an impeachment of Mr, hi , . FUSON, in the House of Representatives. As the Papers of the second Mail make no ale n lion of such a circumstance, we presume it is a jai* take. [FROM Till NIW YORK CITIZEN.) The Wasp, undergoing sonic repair, is ordered to Norfolk with all possible dispatch.

Lei/ 'l6 hIAL V L '~ ~ •It is with mach pleasure that we record the ,•c:7 successful progress of this Institution, Which is so honotitable to the taste arts liberality of its Liz lightened Patrons', es well as to the talents which their proteetion his fostered into distitition. A private . view, of the piCtures.sent this year has been opened for some days, at the gallery in Pall Mall, and the colleCtion altogetfiet maoifbsts a. very great improverhent in the Fine Arts: The rooms contain more original Worki than in the former seasons, ant Many of them, though froin Artists hitherto ob scOre, would de honour to names of established re pute. We yesterday with great pleasure beheld a Sight so lionOurahle to our countrymen, and we may predi& that, with the encouragement which they are likely to derive from the munificent supporters of this Institution, they will rival the proudest, names of antiquity. Among the works from artists of known excel. fence ' we were highly gratified in seeing produEtiontl frOM'BEEC#EY, SHF.e, WESTALL, THOMSON, TUR• NEB, GARRARD, WOODFORDE, POCOCK, a(' 01 NIEL. PONIARD, DRUMMOND, and WARD, also appear to considerable advantage. Miss ERIN/tout has hewn considerable powers in the provin , :e of Landscape. A Mr. JQNRS, in ,f the inside, of a Blacksmith's.

A Mr: IRVINE, in a view of part of Eiltp.' burgh, in which HiThl monument forms a c9 , ;..- spicuous figure, has shown claica!' taste and boldness of conception which proniiiio to renchtr, him a distinguished ornament to the arts of this. country. It would be invidiotis to'-pais over • the efforts ell BARKER, AfKINSON, CLUV,Ht.EY, the venerable PALT.Ii SA NOSY, REYNOLDS, and other Artist!!! of 2L; know ledgd merit, and we should not do ittsticv to 'Mr. VALENTINE G f ItEENT if we were to omit observing that taste, judgment, and itttl7artiality, characterize the manner in which the whole assemblage is an , rdinged - for public notice. THE NEW OPERA PLAN. Ir is with much concern that we notice n o.et.; ! ing which has recently ben held by several guished Noblemen dud Gentlemen, for the ptlrpo,e of entering into a subscription for the eretlion of new Opera-House. Surely in Lead of promoting any Plan likely to increase the influx of foreigners in this Country, it would be more consistent with sound policy, both as to themselves and the Empire, if thoy were to endeavour as much as possible to lessen Ott nuniber of such dangerous intruders. The elevated and opulent Patrons of the propesed institution, which is projeded by a Foreigner, have a great stake in the Country, but Fo reigners have only a temporary interest • hc:lei and an interest of a ° mulch more inu p ortant kind in acquiring every possible knowiedr: tbd Means to injure us hereafter, by Malti►ag themselves useful to our enemy when they leave us. The caul of Europe is more critical t h an ever it was be. fore, and t4ough this Country has a ;powerful proteStion in its maritime strength, yet acctdents have often defeated wisdom and force, $ll - d it be, comes us all, at this awful and eventful period, .to exert unceasing vigilance in the defence of the country. We hope that refleCtions like these will induce the distinguiihed Persons we, alltide to, to desist from an enterprize. which is only calculated to benefit foreigners, and which is pregnant with national danger ; but if they persevere in so chievous a scheme, we trust that GoVernment will interpose, and ' - put a Stop to a measure that is not' only highly imprudent in a political consitleration, but that is calculated to throw impediments in the way of British talents, which, with the same profuse, and indeed enormous, patron nage which foreigners receive, would most probably rise into such excellence as would enable us to despise the utmost efforts of the Continent to eclipse or rival the natives of this *Country. ANCIENT MUSIC.—The season of this admirabitti establishment commenced last night at the Hano. ver-square Roams. The appearance of Mrs. BIL. L/NOTON gave birth to the most gratifying applause, on the part of a very numerous audience, and sht) sung with such excellence as may enable her to de spise the caprices and the prejudices of fashion.. H , ar bravura from Bxeit was exquishe : It was tliCOrt'd enthusiastically. All her exertions indeed were equally admired. liAarttsoN and BARTLENIAN supported their high reputation, and Mrs. 1 14u0n.4 was much admired for skill and exprelsion. 'lThe Band was most ably led ay CRAMER. The Dt:ICCS of CUMBERLAND, Sussex, and CANIIIM.DGE, wefe present, nude considerable number of the higher orders.
